The White House Coachman.

Albert Hawkins, muscular negro,
born slave in Anne Arundel County,
Maryland, in his boyhood and youth
was quite local celebrity of the racing
and fashionable stables. Soon after
the war General Grant heard of his
skill with horses. He sent for him and
put him in charge of his stables. When
he became President he put him in
charge of the stables of the executive
mansion. President Grant always
kept ten or twelve horses, generally
blooded and spirited. Upon one occa-
sion while driving to attend requiem
mass to King Victor Emanuel under
the auspices of the Italian legation his
four high-strung horses took fright and
dashed away at a break-neck speed.
Albert's strength was not sufficient to
check them. With his accustomed
GOODNESS he ran them into the swinging
chains around the nearest park. which
gave the President and those with him
time to alight, The coachman, gather
ing up his reins. extricated the horses
from their dilemma. and once more
getting them on the street, gave them
an overhauling which put a quietus
upon their disposition to get away.
Albert has been the coachman of every
new President since, and has an inter-
esting collection of autograph letters
testifying to his skill and GOODNESS in
managing horse flesh.-Al6any Journal.
